Chapter 155: Bronze Lotus Petal Plate
In the bottomless, unusually dark abyss, a row of square stone pillars stood vertically, extending into the darkness in the distance.
I volunteered to jump up the square pillars, and when I counted to the forty-nineth, there were no more pillars under my feet, and there was no end to the depths. But in front of the last stone pillar, a bronze lotus petal-patterned disc floated in mid-air, as if by magic, like a scene in a dream, floating illusory in front of my eyes.
Curious, I craned my neck and looked inside the bronze disc. The washbasin-sized disc seems to contain water, but it doesn't look like water, it looks like a thin layer of mist. But it was as clear as a mirror, and my appearance was reflected very clearly on it.
I couldn't help but be curious, so I reached into the disc and stirred the misty liquid with my fingers. Circles of ripples rippled in the disc, and I felt that the contents of the disc were not water, but I couldn't tell what it was, it looked like a very dense fog. But for some reason, the mist was contained in a bronze disc and was as bright as a mirror, which was incredible!
After the ripples in the disc had calmed down, I suddenly saw several images flashing through the disc, all of which were fragments related to me, including me wearing ancient clothes, as if it were my past life. And the last scene that flashed on the surface of the water, I was so surprised that I almost fell off the stone pillar, and I opened my mouth wide in astonishment, and said in disbelief: How is it possible?
The last picture that flashed just now is very much like what will happen in the future, could it be that this bronze lotus petal-patterned disc can show the past life and predict the future?
If that's what will happen in the future. I can't believe I could do something like that?
My avatar is still reflected in the shape of a disc. But now there is no picture of it, and I feel a chill. Welling up from the bottom of my heart, I just wanted to escape from the stone pillar as much as I could.
Whether the images inside the disc are real or not, I choose not to believe them, and I just want to stay away from this nightmarish bronze disc. However, just as I turned to leave, I suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind me, so I immediately crouched down, but before I could see what it was. The thing that had struck me quickly turned in the air and struck at me again.
It was pitch black above the abyss, and only the flashlight in my hand emitted a faint light, and I couldn't see what was attacking me. But I knew that the visitor was not good, so I jumped up directly above the stone pillar in front of me, and then ran on the stone pillar at a rapid speed.
In the darkness, I ran so fast that I couldn't see my feet clearly. It's all about feeling, running around the narrow stone pillar.
The thing that sneaked up on me was a big black shadow, and I just peeked with my eyes, and it was the ghostly black shadow that had been lurking around the Western Expedition. It came to attack me again. After being attacked many times, I found that this ghostly black shadow seemed to be only aimed at me, the rest of the Western Expedition team. Completely invisible and not attacked by it. It only attacked me three times and twice, and almost always when I was alone. It's like where there are a lot of people, it can't show up.
Now I have absolutely no way to destroy it, so I can only return to the people of the Western Expedition as much as possible, so that the ghostly black shadow will disappear on its own again.
I jumped fast on the stone pillar, my heart kept in my throat, and my back was covered with cold sweat. The ghostly shadows were still speeding through the air, and I kept counting down the stone pillars under my feet, and I saw that all I had left was to jump over the last nine stone pillars and return to the crowd. I immediately relaxed the tense body and nerves, and tried to stabilize my body as much as possible, I don't want to lose my footing at the end of the day!
The members of the Western Expedition who were waiting for my return on land were surprised and confused when they found me running on the stone pillars sweating profusely.
When I saw the crowd gathered around the cliff, I immediately shouted, "Get out of the way." ”
When everyone saw my panicked and jumping appearance, they all noticed the abnormality, and they all immediately dodged and gave me a place to stay. I saw that there were three stone pillars under my feet, and the wind behind me was already close to my ears, so I immediately poured my legs into it, jumped up directly from the stone pillars under my feet, jumped up from the stone pillars under my feet, jumped over the remaining three stone pillars at once, and fell directly to the ground on the edge of the cliff, and my legs hung above the abyss.
When everyone in the Western Expedition saw my desperate jumping performance, they were so frightened that they immediately pulled me up from the edge of the cliff and asked me in horror, "What's the matter?" ”
Panting, I recounted the reappearance of the ghostly shadow, and everyone was surprised. And when I talked about what I saw and heard at the end of the stone pillar, everyone looked at each other and was dumbfounded and speechless.
After listening to my story, the fifth master couldn't wait to step on the stone pillar, and before he set off, I told him: "Fifth brother, be careful of the black shadow sneak attack." ”
Fifth Master Zha nodded, then turned around and walked quickly on the square stone pillar, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
But soon, the fifth master came back, and he only said that the bronze disc hanging in the air was very strange, and did not say what picture he saw in it?
When Kun Ba saw that the fifth master had come back safely, he couldn't help but be curious, and immediately rushed to the top of the square stone pillar, for fear that others would rush ahead of him.
The people of the Western Expedition went back and forth on the stone pillars, and the expressions on everyone's faces changed very obviously after they returned. And among these people, I only care about what one person thinks, I wonder what kind of picture he sees, whether it has anything to do with me?
The rain was muddy and the state was very bad, and I didn't look at the bronze disc floating in the air.
Ge Laojiu was the last person to see the bronze disc, and when he returned, he walked with his head hanging down. But when he passed me, I saw him glaring at Tianyu lying in my arms very viciously, and an angry expression appeared on his face for a moment, as if he wanted to kill Tianyu immediately. This made me feel very stunned, and I couldn't help but worry, it seems that Ge Lao was confused by the phantom in the bronze disc, and he had a misunderstanding of Tianyu, and I had to try my best to protect Tianyu's safety to avoid the situation where only the two of them appeared.
The phantom that Ge Laozheng saw in the bronze disc must be related to Tianyu, which reminds me of the picture I saw before, could it be that the picture that Ge Laozheng saw was similar to his own, but the protagonist was different. This incident made me suspect that the bronze disc suspended in the air, with the prophetic image of the mirror mist appearing within it, was probably a trap, an illusory trap that divided and disintegrated the team.
This made me very worried, everyone would definitely not want to say what they saw, just like me, the scene I saw in the bronze lotus petal disc just now would never be told to anyone, and I could only bury it in the bottom of my heart. Although everyone will imply that what appears in the mirror disc is only an illusion, don't believe it lightly and be deceived by it. But in the depths of everyone's hearts, they have long had doubts, and they have been deeply poisoned.
After seeing the bronze discs, the members of the Western Expedition should have seen some inexplicable sights like me, but none of them mentioned it.
The fifth master didn't say a word about the bronze disc hanging in the air, turned to everyone and said, "Since there is no way ahead, we have to go back to the burial pit to find a new way out." Everyone is tired from many days, so it is better to rest here for a few hours before climbing the stone steps to the top. ”
When the fat man heard that he had to climb back from the top of the endless stone steps, he was very unhappy, and he muttered his kimono and lay down on the ground to rest. As soon as he lay down, he quickly sat up again and shouted at me, "Lao Zheng." ”
I suddenly heard the fat man calling me, my heart suddenly became nervous, and I asked the fat man with a very embarrassed smile on my face, "What are you doing?" ”
The fat man sat with his back to me, and as he moved his buttocks, he said to me, "My back is very itchy, you can scratch it for me." ”
I looked at the fat man's body, and for some reason I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately put my hand into the clothes behind the fat man's back. As a result, as soon as his hand was put in, he immediately hurriedly pulled his hand out, and then lifted the fat man's clothes.
The fat man was startled by my inexplicable behavior, and hurriedly turned around and asked me, "Lao Zheng, what are you doing?" Is it a hooligan? Or do you want to freeze me to death? ”
I ignored the fat man, and when I saw that his back was turned, I reached out and began to pull his trouser leg.
The fat man grabbed my hand very puzzled and depressed, stared at a pair of bull's eyes and asked me, "Lao Zheng, what are you going to do?" ”
I broke free of his hand and said to him, "Don't talk nonsense, unpack the leggings and let me see your legs." ”
The fat man said to me very puzzled: "My back is itchy, what do you think my legs are doing?" ”
I ignored him and began to disassemble the leggings on his leg, and the fat man saw that I looked different, so he immediately began to disassemble the leggings on the other leg without a word.
After the layers of bloodstained leggings were disassembled, I aimed the light of the flashlight at the fat man's legs, and the sight I saw made everyone present gasp, and their hearts were chilled, and their pupils were retracted.
The reason why I hurriedly asked the fat man to remove the leggings was because when I grabbed his back, I felt a lot of protrusions on his back, which felt similar to the boils growing on my feet, but they were much larger than the boils on my feet. I immediately knew something was wrong, but pimples weren't contagious. And when I saw several holes on the fat man's clothes, I suddenly realized that these protrusions were related to the white weird mask horseshoe crab that attacked us before.
So, I asked the fat man to disassemble the leggings, first, it was convenient for me to check, and second, his leg was the most seriously injured, and the effect was the most visible.
But it turned out to be a bit unexpected! (To be continued......)
